@Toby: The engine panels were only placed, not glued as I aim (one day) to make this into a diorama
@GF: I tend to agree about the Humbrol acrylics, but although I'll not bother spraying with them any more they still have a use for brushing, especially for detail work and cockpits etc. I have converted to AK Interactive for spraying; excellent paints
And here we are as of this evening; decals on, painting largely complete, and some rigging in place. I've used (incorrectly no doubt) Gaspatch turnbuckles, and elastic rigging line. A few more to add then paint black and a matt varnish all over and we'll be done!
(and I've just noticed a wrinkle in one line that'll need redoing 
)
